@example
-ifconfig tap@emph{n} hw ether fe:fd:@emph{xx}:@emph{xx}:@emph{xx}:@emph{xx}
+ifconfig tap@emph{n} hw ether fe:fd:00:00:00:00
@end example
-The @emph{n} here is the number of the ethertap device you want to use.
-It should be the same @emph{n} as the one you use for
-@file{/dev/tap@emph{n}}. The @emph{xx}s are four hexadecimal numbers
-(0--ff). With previous versions of tincd, it didn't matter what they
-were. But newer kernels require properly set up ethernet addresses. In
-fact, the old behavior was wrong. It is required that the @emph{xx}s
-match the numbers of the IP address you will give to the tap device and
-to the MyOwnVPNIP configuration (which will be discussed later).
-
@cindex MAC address
@cindex hardware address
-@strong{Tip}: for finding out what the MAC address of the tap interface
-should be, you can use the following command:
-
-@example
-$ printf 'fe:fd:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x' 10 1 54 1
-fe:fd:0a:01:36:01
-@end example
-
-or with perl:
-
-@example
-$ perl -e 'print "fe:fd:", join(":", map @{sprintf "%02x", $_@} split(/\./, $ARGV[0])), "\n";' 10.1.54.1
-fe:fd:0a:01:36:01
-@end example
-
+@strong{Note:} Since version 1.0pre3, all interface addresses are set to
+this address, whereas previous versions required the MAC to match the
+actual IP address.
@cindex ifconfig
To activate the device, you have to assign an IP address to it. To set
@item MyVirtualIP = <local address[/maskbits]>
This is an alias for MyOwnVPNIP.
-@item Passphrases = <directory> (/etc/tinc/NETNAME/passphrases)
-The directory where tinc will look for passphrases when someone tries to
-connect. Please see the manpage for genauth(8) for more information
-about passphrases as used by tinc.
-
@item PingTimeout = <seconds> (5)
The number of seconds of inactivity that tinc will wait before sending a
probe to the other end. If that other end doesn't answer within that
same amount of seconds, the connection is terminated, and the others
will be notified of this.
+@item PrivateKey = <key>
+This is a sequence of hexadecimal numbers, as generated by ``tincd
+--generate-keys''.
+
+@item PublicKey = <key>
+This is a sequence of hexadecimal numbers, as generated by ``tincd
+--generate-keys''.
+
@item TapDevice = <device> (/dev/tap0)
The ethertap device to use. Note that you can only use one device per
daemon. The info pages of the tinc package contain more information
